semiconductor lithography

Stained glass window creation:1. Turn sand into glass2. Add impurities to cause desirable properties (colors)3. Cut and polish glass4. Repeat as needed to build up final window parts from components5. Dice and assemble with metal interconnects into final structure6. Install into windows.

Repeat as needed to build up to final wafer layer from components5. Dice and assemble with metal interconnects into final structure6. Install Windows.Seems about the same.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
